Chapter 528: Convincing Emperor Chu Ming, the Situation in the Southern Wilderness
Zhou Yanyu said with a smile: "Brother Lin, just understand. Several ministers in the court who suggested showing mercy to the Nanman were either jailed or demoted!"
Of course, he didn't really care about Ling Feng's safety. This time he captured the Blackpool tribe, captured nine thousand prisoners, and obtained more than 100,000 dan of food. This was a great achievement. But once Ling Feng angered Emperor Chu Ming, this achievement would probably be lost.
Became the cause of disaster.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Ling Feng finished his meal and said goodbye, then followed two personal guards to a tent and used the Qinglong Order to deliver a message directly to the palace.
After a while, Dachu Palace and the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Ming of Chu was reviewing the memorial. Recently, many ministers had written letters saying that Yanzhou's army was killing people indiscriminately and harming the country. This made him very angry. Killing the southern barbarians by himself was a great achievement in permanently eliminating the southern border troubles. These people actually blindly
Advocating the benevolent policies of the ancient sage emperors is really destructive!
After a while, a Dachu imperial guard sent a battle report on Yanzhou.
Emperor Chu Ming opened it and looked overjoyed at first, because he saw the good news from Zhou Yanyu. Qinglong Wei Lin Feng single-handedly killed the Black Wind Ridge with a single sword, defeated the Black Ze tribe, beheaded nearly a thousand people, and captured more than 9,000 people. Immediately,
, he saw that Ling Feng deliberately kept the prisoners, and his face suddenly darkened. He had already issued an order to kill all the barbarians, leaving no one behind. This Lin Feng actually relied on his great achievements to disobey my will. It is really abominable and unworthy of me.
trust!
At this time, a Dachu imperial guard sent another letter, and the person who sent the letter was Lin Feng. He suppressed his anger and read on.
The content is as follows: Your Majesty must be very angry at this time, please allow Lin Feng to finish. This is not because I pity the barbarian people. In fact, the current situation is delicate. The Netherworld Palace is causing trouble in the northern grassland. It is urgent to annihilate the southern barbarians!
If the Holy Emperor insists on carrying out the order to kill barbarians, it will certainly eliminate future troubles forever, but it will inspire the southern barbarians to desperately resist. It is better to keep these defenseless barbarians, demote them as slaves, transport them to Kyushu, and go to the mines for mining.
coolie.
Firstly, it shows the benevolence of the Holy One, so that one or two rotten scholars will not talk nonsense and say that you are a tyrant. Secondly, it can eliminate the resistance of the barbarians. After the Holy One has destroyed the eight demon sects such as Nether Palace and stabilized the government, how will it be dealt with in the future?
Don't the barbarians all depend on the will of the Holy One? Of course, this is just a suggestion from the minister. How to make a decision depends entirely on the will of the Holy One.
In fact, it's not that no one thought of this suggestion, but they didn't dare to say it. There were several great Confucian scholars who demoted them at the suggestion of demotion, so who dared to raise opinions. But Ling Feng was different. Even if Emperor Chu Ming removed him from his post, he would still be demoted.
I don't care much. As the saying goes, you can be strong without desire. And Ling Feng's tone is also very humble. He is considering things from the position of Emperor Chu Ming. Moreover, Ling Feng is too young, and with his background, it is easier to win over Chu Ming.
The emperor's trust.
After Chu Minghuang read it, all his anger disappeared and he said with a smile: "This boy's idea is quite good!"
Immediately, he called the guard to summon Gao Hong.
After a while, Gao Hong came in, bowed and said: "I am here to see your Majesty!"
Emperor Ming of Chu said: "Gao Qing, grind and prepare the decree."
"promise!"
After Gao Hong finished speaking, he started grinding.
Emperor Ming of Chu began to dictate the imperial decree and said: "Holy decree, from now on, the order to kill barbarians will be cancelled. The barbarians who are unable to resist can be spared their lives, demoted as slaves, and transported to the mines of various states. Lin Feng, the Qinglong Wei, pacified Blackpool alone.
Tribe, and for your contribution and meritorious service, I will grant you one hundred thousand meritorious deeds!"
One hundred thousand meritorious deeds are almost equivalent to one hundred thousand Canglang Sword Sect contribution points, worth tens of millions of taels of silver, but even more rare.
After hearing this, Gao Hong's eyes widened. Lin Feng actually persuaded the Holy Emperor to change the order to kill the barbarians. This made him feel a little incredible, and the importance he attached to Lin Feng in his heart was once again raised to a higher level.
…
Not long after, the Yanzhou army camped.
Governor Zhou Yanyu received a message from the court, but it was the message that Emperor Chu Ming wanted to cancel the order to kill barbarians and praise Ling Feng. He was quite surprised to see that Lin Feng, who was at the top of his innate realm and became the Qinglong Guard, could still convince Emperor Chu Ming
The order to kill barbarians has been cancelled. Could it be that this man is actually the emperor's illegitimate son?
Not only him, Han Yue was also very surprised when she got the news. She thought for a while and came to Ling Feng's room without speaking.
At this time, in the camp, Ling Feng was practicing with his eyes closed to restore his soul and Qi.
The Han Jiao Sword inserted in front of him sensed the approach of Qi Machine and immediately let out a sword sound as a warning.
Ling Feng opened his eyes, lifted the door curtain, and saw Han Yue. He looked slightly surprised and welcomed her in. He said, "Commander Han is here. What's the important matter?"
Han Yue said: "You have a higher position than me now, so you don't need to call me Commander anymore, just call me by my name. I'm here to ask you what strategies you can use to quell the barbarians?"
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Sister Han, first of all, we will build roads and bridges to make transportation in the Southern Wilderness more convenient and facilitate the advancement of the army. Then we will kill all the high-ranking Southern Barbarians and move all their tribesmen to Kyushu and resettle them separately. Of course.
, This will take a long time, and the food will definitely be difficult to support, so we must learn to hunt and fish, and we must also plunder food from the Nanman."
Han Yue remained silent. This was the simplest strategy, but it was also the most practical. However, it was still a bit difficult to implement.
At this time, Ling Feng asked: "There is war in the north and south at this time. It is impossible for Xirong and Dongyi to be so honest, right?"
Han Yue nodded and said: "Yes, half a month ago, the Western Qiang tribe sent troops to the border of Liangzhou, and the Dongyi Island Kingdom also repeatedly sent small groups of soldiers to harass and plunder women and supplies. However, Baihua Palace and the Governor of Liangzhou have now sent troops to threaten
Western Qiang. And Qinglong Palace has cooperated with the Governor of Qingzhou to suppress Dongyi. They can’t afford to make any trouble!"
Ling Feng continued to ask: "Then you can analyze the situation between Yanzhou and Nanman for me."
Han Yue glanced at him and said: "The major forces in Yanzhou are divided into four major forces: the Holy Fire Sect, Zhennan Palace, Nangong Family, and the Governor's Palace. Now, the Holy Fire Sect, Zhennan Palace, and Nangong Family have only sent some disciples
and guards were dispatched, in a wait-and-see state. The Southern Barbarians are divided into seven tribes: Mountain, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Poison, and Beast. The Five Elements tribe is good at applying the power of the Five Elements, the Poison tribe is good at applying the art of poison, and the Beast is good at controlling beasts.
, are all powerful tribes with Wuzong at their command. Now, although the Governor's army is advancing step by step, the seven major tribes of the Southern Barbarians are actually not damaged. In fact, they are not defeated by the Governor's army, but deliberately retreated, gathered and fled.
The people are ready to take this opportunity to unify the Southern Barbarians."
Ling Feng listened, nodded, and said: "Yes, our advancing army has indeed contributed to the unification of the Southern Barbarians. But it doesn't matter, the Southern Barbarians are not as strong as the northern grassland tribes. Moreover, they are isolated from the north and south of the Nether Palace, and without help, they will perish sooner or later.
.It’s just a matter of putting in more effort.”
After knowing the current situation, he knew what he should do. It was nothing more than killing people, gathering information and grabbing some food. One was to improve his cultivation, and the other was to support the advancement of the Yanzhou army and destroy the Southern Barbarians.
